BaT Exclusive: High-Quality 1995 Acura NSX-T

This 1995 Acura NSX-T is offered by the second owner who purchased it from the original Southern California owner in March 2007 with 83.341 miles. The first owner was meticulous, and the very particular current seller has followed suit, adding only 7000 miles in the last four years. The car has the proper 5-speed manual transmission, and the new owner will get the entire Acura dealer service records from the original owner plus the recent routine service records for fluid changes and maintenance. This car is available in Altadena, California for $33k.

This NSX has spent its entire life in sunny Southern California. The first owner was a middle aged attorney who lives in Laguna Beach and commuted to Irvine. The current seller is a 47 year old banker in Pasadena, CA. He tells us that he has never raced or tracked this car and according to the Porsche dealer he bought it from (Circle Porsche in Long Beach) neither did the first owner. Its never been driven in the snow or salt covered roads, and while owned by the current seller it has never even been in the rain.

The original red paint is in excellent condition with no door dings. The Car Fax is clean as a whistle, and the seller tells us that he has not added many miles because of the regular exercise he gives several other cars in his stable. The original engine, transmission, factory chrome wheels and interior remain, and he tan leather is supple and clean. If you don’t like the chrome wheels, we’ve been surprised at how inexpensive sets of these same wheels in the machined finish are trading for second hand. Or step up to BBS LM’s for our favorite look on the car.

Major dealer service repairs include: Clutch plate, disc, flywheel & Throwout bearing, front rotors resurfaced with new pads at 80,785 miles; replaced master cylinder due to a leak at 68,324 miles; replaced timing belt, water pump and accessory belt at 51,912 miles and new rear tires less than 500 miles ago.

While there are many NSX’s out there, finding one that has been well cared for and not poorly modified is the greatest challenge. The newer versions never looked as good as the mid and early cars, and this ’95 body style falls at the perfect intersection of upgraded wheels and styling beyond the very first cars while still at an affordable price point. This would be a great car to own.
